Hi Folks,
When evaluating Cobbler I seem to be having problems with Cheetah
substituting $tree in my /etc/cobbler/default.ks file. In my
/etc/cobbler/default.ks file I see:
# Use network installation
url --url=$tree
# If any cobbler repo definitions were referenced in the kickstart
profile, include
them here.
$yum_repo_stanza
In my /var/www/cobbler/kickstarts_sys/default/ks.cfg file I see:
# Use network installation
url --url=$tree
# If any cobbler repo definitions were referenced in the kickstart
profile, include
them here.
It appears that $yum_repo_stanza is being replaced (it is currently
undefined in my set-up) but $tree is not resolving correctly.
Thanks for any help and pointers.
Kind regards,
Ken.
Thanks for the feedback...
It looks like you were using "cobbler import --mirror" on a DVD
location, or perhaps the older "cobbler import --path". Which was it?
If it was "--mirror", that code, being designed for public rsync mirrors
and not DVD's, likely did not have enough information to pick a good
kickstart for the distro you used. If it was "--path", that code
doesn't auto-assign kickstarts at all. Basically cobbler uses known
pieces of the path, which are found on all public mirrors, like "FC-6"
or "RHEL-4" to determine what the distro is and to assign a good
kickstart to that distro.
Either way, you can edit the profile file (/var/lib/cobbler/profiles) to
add in a tree location to use. It's another element of "ksmeta" and
just needs to have a value like
"http://server/cobbler_track/path/to/files/os"; or equivalent.
I'll go back and see if the kickstart assignment code can be tweaked to
better suit the DVD import cases.
